Airmazing productions portable studio design This design allows you to live stream your Drone flights to Facebook and Youtube. Although you can in fact accomplish this directly within the DJI Go App, what makes this design superior is the ability to include multiple cameras, Background Music, Begin and End slate videos and Graphics. You can even setup Polling with this solution. This design requires an Android phone. I myself currently utilize a Samsung S8+ phone and although I am still practicing and trying to make hosting second nature. I still will sometimes not be interacting as my focus is entirely on safe flying. Perhaps in the future I will utilize additional personnel to alleviate this issue. What is outstanding about this design is its portability. An unforseen benefit I have recently discovered is that if my Tablet loses contact (has happened more than I like), I can still view the raw video feed through my phone. And of course the auto home button on the Controller gets me by some of my paranoia.
